Apple App Store Scraper: Apps, Top Charts, ASO & Reviews

Scrape the Apple App Store into clean datasets for app-market research and ASO: top charts by country and category, keyword search rankings, full app details, a developer's whole app portfolio, and optional customer reviews. It uses only Apple's public endpoints: the iTunes Search & Lookup API and the official RSS feeds. No login, no proxies, no browser. $1 per 1,000 app records.

• ✅ Top charts: Top Free, Top Paid, Top Grossing (iPhone and iPad), New Apps, in any storefront and any of 25 categories
• ✅ ASO keyword ranks: the position of every app for your keywords, plus keyword_rank rows for tracked apps that dropped out
• ✅ Rank tracking: previous_rank, rank_change and is_new_entry compared with your last run
• ✅ App lookup by App Store URL, numeric ID or bundle ID, and developer portfolios
• ✅ Full metadata: rating and rating count (overall and current version), price, version, release notes, size, genres, languages, screenshots, content rating, plus aso stats
• ✅ Customer reviews (optional), with an only new reviews monitor for daily alerts
• ✅ Respects Apple's ~20 calls/minute limit and batches lookups (100 apps per call)

Use the Apps, charts & ranks and Reviews dataset views, or export JSON, CSV or Excel. The OUTPUT record lists each task (chart, keyword, lookup) with its record count and any errors.

Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription:

Event	Price
App result (chart entry, search result, keyword rank, app or developer app)	$0.001 ($1 per 1,000)
Review result (only with reviews enabled)	$0.00015 ($0.15 per 1,000)
Actor start (per run)	$0.002

The default run (Top Free US top 25, one keyword, one app) returns 35 records for about $0.037. Tracking 20 keywords × 3 countries × top 25 every day costs about $1.50 per day. Failed lookups are never charged, and you can set a maximum cost per run.

Use cases

• ASO keyword tracking: daily positions for your app and your competitors, with rank changes.
• Top-chart monitoring by country and category to spot rising apps and new entries.
• Competitor research: ratings, rating counts, release cadence (version dates and notes) and pricing.
• Lead generation: developers and seller websites of apps in a category.
• Review mining for product feedback, sentiment analysis and support alerts.

FAQ

Which data sources are used? Apple's public iTunes Search API and Lookup API (itunes.apple.com/search and /lookup), the official RSS top-chart feeds, and the public customer-reviews RSS feed. Apple documents a limit of about 20 Search/Lookup calls per minute, and the Actor stays below it (minimum 3 s between calls).

How many reviews can I get? Apple's reviews feed serves the latest 500 reviews per app and country (10 pages of 50). For more history, schedule the Actor with Only new reviews so every review is captured as it appears.

How does rank tracking work? Chart and keyword ranks are saved in a named key-value store (stateStoreName). The next run adds previous_rank, rank_change (positive means moved up) and is_new_entry. Use a separate store name for each tracker.

Why is an app missing from a country? Apps can be unavailable in some storefronts. Failed lookups are listed in OUTPUT.errors and aren't charged.

Google Play? Not included. This Actor covers the Apple App Store only.
